1008 Times Gayatri Mantra — Om Bhur Bhuvah Swaha - Divine Guidance, Enlightenment, and Protection

The Gayatri mantra is one of the oldest and most powerful Sanskrit mantras. It is believed that by chanting the Gayatri mantra and firmly establishing it in the mind, if you carry on your life and do the work that is ordained for you, your life will be full of happiness.

Chanting Gayatri Mantra helps calm the mind and helps in the release of relaxing hormones. It also helps stimulates your chakras or the extrasensory energy centers.

The word "Gayatri" itself explains the reason for the existence of this mantra. It has its origin in the Sanskrit phrase Gayantam Triyate iti, and refers to that mantra that rescues the chanter from all adverse situations that may lead to mortality.

Goddess Gayatri is also called "Veda-Mata" or the Mother of the Vedas - Rig, Yajur, Saam, and Atharva - because it is the very basis of the Vedas. It is the basis, the reality behind the experienced and the cognized universe.

The Mantra:
Om
Bhur Bhuvah Swah
Tat Savitur Varenyam
Bhargo Devasya Dhimahi
Dhiyo Yo nah Prachodayat
~ The Rig Veda (10:16:3)

The Meaning:
"O thou existence Absolute, Creator of the three dimensions, we contemplate upon thy divine light. May He stimulate our intellect and bestow upon us true knowledge."

Or simply,

”Oh God, Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and sorrow,
The Bestower of happiness,
Oh! Creator of the Universe,
May we secure thy supreme sin-destroying light,
May Thou guide our intellect in the right path.”

Best Time to Chant the Gayatri Mantra:
Satva is the best time to chant the Gayatri Mantra. This is the hour between 4 am and 6am.

One can chant Gayatri mantra three times a day, during the Sandhya timings. Sandhya means the junction of two parts of the day so the timings are before sunrise, noontime, and sunset. Among all the days, chanting this mantra on Fridays will be most auspicious.

It is recommended that one takes a bath before chanting Gayatri mantra and one should sit on Asana of Kusha and recite the mantra silently.

Word for Word Meaning:

* Om (Aum)
It is also called Pranav because its sound emanates from the Prana (vital vibration), which fills the Universe. The scripture says "Aum Iti Ek Akshara Brahman" (Aum that one syllable is Brahman).

When you pronounce AUM:
A - emerges from the throat, originating in the region of the navel
U - rolls over the tongue
M - ends on the lips
A - waking, U - dreaming, M - sleeping
It is the sum and substance of all the words that can emanate from the human throat. It is the primordial fundamental sound symbolic of the Universal Absolute.

* The "Vyahrities": Bhuh, Bhuvah, and Svah
The above three words of the Gayatri, which literally means "past," "present," and "future," are called Vyahrities. Vyahriti is that which gives knowledge of entire cosmos or "ahriti". By uttering these three words, the chanter contemplates the Glory of God that illuminates the three worlds or the regions of experience.

The Remaining Words:
* Tat = "that" because it defies description through speech or language, the "Ultimate Reality."
* Savitur = Divine Sun (the ultimate light of wisdom) not to be confused with the ordinary sun.
* Varenium = adore
* Bhargo = illumination
* Devasya = Divine Grace
* Dheemahi = we contemplate
* Dhi = intellect
* Yo = who
* Nah = ours
* Prachodayat = requesting / urging / praying

The last five words constitute the prayer for final liberation through the awakening of our true intelligence.
